Just curious: Anyone on this site into antique phonographs?

[slamabad]

Worth a shot; ...and Sorry folks if this is not Mopar related.

Confinement is making me resurrect a couple of project machines ... looking for some info on a few machines as well as a few not so easy to find parts. Thanks

"phonograph" can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. There DOES seem to be a good amount of us audiophiles, so I'd say don't hesitate to put up a photo of something.

I have been thinking about people in the NYC area lately as it has been so much more difficult on them than even us here in DC. Take care, be careful, and stay safe.

I am - I was a member of the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society.

I own a 1918-ish Brunswick Ultona Model S (The Stratford), a very interesting unit that can play standard lateral Edison vertical discs and Pathe vertical discs with their unique patented 3 way reproducer.

It was their top of the line credenza style unit for the day, costing as much as a new car.

There are a few parts sources out there - how can I assist?

Thank you for your replies and kind thoughts. Sorry I f I wasn't clear. Yes I was referring to wind up phonographs.

What a gorgeous Brusnswick, I had never seen one like this before.

First and foremost, I am looking for info on a late model Victor II external horn phonograph (not humpback):

- The missing horn elbow was a "slip in" type. I've only seen reproductions of flanged elbows. Do you know if anyone makes slip in elbow reproductions?

- The horn is also missing. What would be the correct size? Paneled or cone shaped?

I don't have pics of the incomplete victor II right now but am including some of my other machines..which I kind of leave in "attic" condition (Columbia BNW x2, Pathe Diamond, Victor V with incorrect horn paint) also have a few floor models. Thanks a lot.

Beautiful machines. I had dabbled into these a bit. Loved hearing all the old 78's. Fascinating stuff.

If you're primarily looking for Victrola parts, I would suggest if you haven't already, check out this page for information and help:
The Victor Victrola Page

Also, this guy seems very knowledgeable: Great Lakes Antique Phonographs

Information on the very complicated Brunswick Ultona 3 way 3 stylus reproducer can be seen here:

Now who would have thought you'd reply here? Is there any kind of sound reproduction equipment you don't own? Beautiful peice, I've only ever heard a few phonographs, they seem to have a very interesting tone.
